Creepy.

Post by Jimmy »

A couple of weeks ago I took my sister to find our brothers grave, we found it.
Now here is where it gets a bit creepy.
The grave behind as a John Clee who wsd our third cousin age 7 months, he died on the 12 May 1949.
My brother died on the 12 May 1958 age 9 years. To have died on the same 9 apart is very creepy.
That is one hell of a coincidence.

I have always thought that something was taking me to all the places my family had lived in the past . I lived in Halesowen , my granddads grandfather married at St John's . I move to Malvern, I find that my 2nd Great grandfather lived in Worcester , and his daughter lived in Malvern with her daughters ,and her son once lived in a house just below me .. I knew my mom lived in Oldbury ,but when I married and went to live there ,I had no idea , the church where my mom married dad was just round the corner or that her father died in Norman Road .I knew very little about mom or dads family,and I was brought up in Handsworth ,and only knew Causeway Green Road ,and Windsor Road in Langley . Now I know where they all came from , but I have always felt a "presence " to show me the way .I could not ask mom and dad about their lives when I started my tree, as they had both passed away ,and there were not many left who i could ask. Sounds creepy I know ,and perhaps slightly mad . So I am not surprised Jimmy . :grin:

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
